Learning to see and understand by working three-dimensional

By Heidi Trautmann

It is quite a new experience to work 3-dimensional, be it with clay, stone or any other material. It is not only the material you have to learn about, its quality, its reactions during work, during the drying and firing processes. It is also the characteristics of the object you have in mind. If you plan to do a head, you will realize that you don’t know exactly how your head is built up, what do  the ears look like, where do they sit. Here comes the fun to work in a group, you can ask your neighbour to serve as a model.

EMAA offer art courses around the year, especially in those times when there are school or university holidays, or courses in the evenings. Courses for adults and children in various disciplines.

On July 26, the students of the last sculpting course were proudly showing their work and they received certificates out of the hands of Mr. Mehmet Harmanci, the Mayor of Lefkosa who is very supportive of culture and art. It was with great pleasure to see their work.
